Computer crime

Computer crimes are on the rise with more and more companies reporting these crimes. According to McCollum, (2002) a survey was conducted and ninety three percent of those surveyed reported that there was some sort of security breach in their computers. The percentage of crime and the financial cost of the crime are both increasing. Most of the security breaches are external through the internet, while a small percentage of the crimes are carried out on the internal systems, but it is very difficult to identify whether the breach is external or internal.
